Yun Yang hurriedly cultivated the Frozen Heart Charm and only straightened himself after a long while. He chuckled and said, "Spar? Let's talk about it later. My cultivation base has improved recently. I might not be able to control my strength as well. "
It was obvious that he did not take Ji Lingxi seriously at all. His words were a high compliment to his own ability!
It was only then that a certain someone managed to suppress his reaction, wondering what had happened to him in the past few days. There had never been such a situation in the past. He really did not think much of Ji Lingxi and, of course, neglected the fact that she had become a Dao realm expert in a split second.
Logically, even if she had consumed an immortal pill, it was impossible for her to leap from a beginner level of heaven realm to a Dao realm expert.
How could Ji Lingxi, who was full of ambition, tolerate being ignored by someone whose cultivation base was lower than hers? She turned and leaped into the yard. "Cut the nonsense. Come quickly."
She could not stay any longer. Her heart was beating too fast …
Yun Yang walked down the stairs in a carefree manner. He picked up a staff in a graceful manner and said in a sanctimonious manner, "Fine, I shall coach you on behalf of my eighth brother today and give you some pointers on your martial arts."
Yun Yang had held back most of his strength when they exchanged blows, afraid that he would really hurt Ji Lingxi. However, Ji Lingxi had gone all out right from the start!
Caught off guard, Yun Yang was struck dumb the first time they met.
He could only let out a strange cry, "What … what the hell …"
A moment later.
Ji Lingxi tossed the staff away and turned to leave with her head held high. Her face was filled with arrogance, but her words could still be heard from afar, "I've learned a lot from today's spar. It looks like cultivation can't be done behind closed doors, it needs to be done with actual combat. From today onwards, I'll come and spar with you every morning. You said it yourself, cultivation base has to be improved. The martial world is just so treacherous …"
The girl had returned what Yun Yang had said yesterday, word for word. She had said it in a righteous and dignified manner.
At the scene.
Yun Yang was covered in dust and there was a huge bump on his forehead like a unicorn. His handsome face was blank.
'Who can tell me what's going on?
Wasn't this girl at the beginning of the Heaven Realm?
How could someone with such a cultivation level suppress me like this?
No matter how powerful a treasure of heaven and earth he consumed, it was impossible for him to directly rise to the Dao Realm overnight, right?
His body couldn't handle it at all …
What was going on?
Did I see a ghost?!
"It hurts so much …" Young Master Yun touched the bump on his forehead. His mind was in a mess. It was only now that he felt the pain. He was really shocked before!
This was clearly impossible, something that did not make any sense at all, yet it had happened so vividly in front of him. How could Yun Yang not be dumbfounded?
Yun Yang had witnessed how Ji Lingxi had ascended from the peak realm to the heaven realm.
Just a few days ago, Ji Lingxi was still complaining that she had been stuck at beginner heaven realm for a long time.
He even comforted him with kind words, such as, "It's already extremely rare for you to make such progress at your age, and you can't be impatient when it comes to cultivation …"
But now …
He, who had already reached the Ninth Firmament of Heaven Realm, was beaten up!
He had been beaten the entire time!
"I've been cultivating with all my might every day!" Yun Yang wanted to cry. "Emmie, come out quickly … Open up the space quickly … I can't take it anymore …"
It was fine if a miracle happened to someone else.
However, this person was prepared to beat him up every morning …
How could he tolerate this?
Furthermore, Yun Yang recalled how he had sounded like an elder brother in front of Ji Lingxi and almost fell to the ground.
Beaten up like this every day, how could he still have the cheek to say that he was his elder brother?
How could he still have the cheek to say that he was taking care of him on behalf of his elder brother? To be a coach to guide his cultivation base? He was not even a sparring partner, he was just a target!
Ji Lingxi's voice rang out, "Yun Yang, I'll take care of you on behalf of my elder brother in the future!"
Yun Yang covered his face with his hands.
This girl … How dare she say this? She was asking for a spanking …
Life was like a play, and the play was like life. It was unpredictable and indescribable indeed!
The Residence of Crown Prince.
His Highness the crown prince had been wearing a gloomy expression all this while; there was hardly a moment of joy on his face.
After all, ever since his father the emperor had announced that his eldest brother's posthumous son had returned to Yutang, His Highness the crown prince had been living in an atmosphere of impending doom. No one would be able to feel at ease.
The right of succession and Yutang's throne that was already firmly in his grasp had suddenly become precarious. The chair that he was sitting on could sprout wings and fly away at any time. It would be strange if he was in a good mood.
Now, every day when he went to court, every time he made eye contact with his father the emperor, he could always feel that the other party's gaze was not right. It was a gaze filled with disappointment, anger, and … deep disgust …
Naturally, His Highness the crown prince's mood was even worse!
Recently, he had been jolted awake by nightmares every night, sitting up in a daze, drenched in cold sweat, his eyes glazed and his face pale.
His Highness the crown prince had not rested well for a few consecutive nights. Even the crown princess was about to go crazy from the crown prince's strange behavior.
In spite of this, the crown prince's bad luck was far from over for his career and life. To target the child who could affect the current situation and should not remain hidden, His Highness had secretly arranged for Sir Bi to help contact the assassin organizations. He had even paid half of the deposit …
In spite of this, what made His Highness the crown prince choke on his breath was …
It was not that the assassins did not come. In fact, all the assassins he had contacted earlier had come, and they had come in waves. Amidst his initial joy, His Highness could not help wondering who had found the rest of the assassins when he had only instructed for two waves.
This was a huge problem!
Although His Highness the crown prince was happy to see the results, he still had to pay attention to the problem. The more assassins there were, the more people with ulterior motives. Similarly, there were also many people who coveted the throne. How could His Highness be careless?
Furthermore, no matter who had found the assassins, the crown prince would have to shoulder the blame at this critical juncture. After all, His Highness was the biggest and most direct beneficiary of this matter!
In spite of this, if the matter were to end successfully and the child was gone, he would have to shoulder the blame. It did not matter.
To achieve great things, one could not be bothered with trifles. Some minor issues were inevitable, they could be made up for later.
However …
After so many assassins had come, what was the meaning of gathering and not doing anything?
'You came with such a huge commotion that everyone in Tiantang City knows about it. The fear is secondary, but all the officials in the imperial court, including the emperor and empress, are looking at me strangely now. Do you know that? '
'All the wealthy merchants and noble families are closing their doors and doors carefully, afraid that they might attract the assassins.
'In fact, there is no movement at all. '
'Then what are you here for? ' 'Are you here to organize a group tour? '
'Looking at the current situation, the gathering of the world's assassins is really like a gathering for a holiday. Can assassins really be related to your profession if they do not work? '
'Can't you have a little more professionalism? ' 'Sense of time? '
'How dare you claim to be one of the best assassin organizations in the world with this kind of behavior? '
His Highness had always thought so, but he could not help but feel even more depressed these days.
'If you don't want to work, then don't. Even if you really only came for a tour, it doesn't matter. At most, your money will go down the drain. Can't you just lose money and avoid disaster? '
'But … not only are you not going to work, but you want to fight among yourselves. What is the meaning of this? '
'Some of you even came up with the Dictum of Death! '
'What is the meaning of this? '
'Are you still an assassin organization? '
'You might as well build a nation of assassins! '
'Assassin organizations have come, but they don't work. They've only probed a few times at the beginning and they've all become obedient after the deaths. What happened to the legendary rule of assassins? ' 'To protect the interests of the clients? ' 'What about the astonishing capability of a super assassin organization? '
As if they had heard His Highness' inner voice, the assassin organizations had begun their work, displaying their astonishing capability. The level of their capability had completely exceeded His Highness' understanding. However, their force was not targeted at a fixed target, but at internal strife. To His Highness, the Four Seasons Tower, The Merciless Tower, the Hall of Crimson Blade … they were all f * cking martial world organizations. Since they were martial world organizations, they were all assassin organizations!
Since they were all assassin organizations, what else could they be but internal strife?
While the crown prince was helpless to do anything about the internal strife at such a crucial time, he could only sigh deeply. "These martial world barbarians are really incapable of accomplishing anything but spoiling everything. They are so unreliable!"
'Today, they fight a few rounds here and a few people die. Tomorrow, they fight a few more rounds here and a few more people die! '
'Then, the day after tomorrow, you guys are going to f * cking start a final battle! '
'You guys are going to start the final battle of the assassin world right here in the Empire of Yutang's capital city! '
Watching the martial world's strife unfold like a raging fire, His Highness felt like ten thousand f * cking horses were galloping through his heart.
'Can't you all do this after the proper business is done? '
'You haven't even done any proper business and Tiantang City is almost destroyed by you all! '
'All of you possess such formidable strength, why can't you first solve the clients' goals? Can't you be a little more responsible, a little more professional? '
"What's going on today? Has the dispute come to an end? "His Highness asked, his expression still grim.
"I heard that the assassin organizations have won. Other than the top martial world force of the world, the Four Seasons Tower, the Four Seasons Tower, has been annihilated."
A strategist said, "Your Highness, this is good news for us. This martial world storm should be over. It has come to an end."
The Crown Prince asked gloomily, "I just want some good news right now. Where are they? Can they act immediately? "
"They disappeared after the fight."
The person looked rather awkward as he said, "Your Highness Rong Bing, these martial world vagabonds are all skilled in martial arts. They're used to coming and going without a trace. It's difficult for us to pinpoint their exact whereabouts. We'll have to wait for them to contact us later. According to the assassin's rules, they'll have to give us an explanation since they've accepted our deposit."
His Highness snorted and turned to ask, "Sir Bi, what do you think?"
Sir Bi was dressed in a plain green robe. His face was lean with three long strands of beard, making him look even more elegant. He was tall and had a sage-like demeanor.
Even His Highness the crown prince treated Sir Bi with great respect, unlike how he treated his other advisors.
Sir Bi stroked his long beard and said with a faint smile, "Your Highness, what will come will come. You don't have to be too anxious. You must know that more haste, less speed."
His Highness said in a troubled tone, "Of course I know that, but there's no room for more buffering in the current situation. There's no time to lose. I have to be impatient. The fire is about to burn me. Just yesterday, those brats also started to fan the flames, and the seeds were pointed directly at me … Empress Mother was still protecting me before, but now, she called me into the palace. Other than scolding me, warning me, and talking about brotherly love, she didn't say anything else. The way she looked at me was full of resentment … "
If it were not for his image, His Highness really wanted to narrate the story in tears and snot.
Sir Bi smiled warmly. "These are merely trivial matters. They're far from being able to shake Your Highness' foundation. Your Highness, you really don't have to be too anxious. Being too impatient will only give others something to use against you. That's what it means to say, more haste, less speed."
He thought about it and said, "His Majesty the Emperor has set his sights on that child, Yu Qiankun. Everyone can see this and know it very well. It can even be said that there are only two people who have the chance and the right to inherit the throne at the moment. It's His Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest prince's posthumous son who popped out of nowhere. "
"However, His Highness the Crown Prince's status in the east palace has been established. This is the true advantage. Although Yu Qiankun is in the Emperor's heart, he's still young. To grow to the point where he can control the imperial court, he still needs a lot of guidance and a long period of training."
Sir Bi said, "Before that moment arrives, no matter how much His Majesty likes and likes the crown prince, he won't act recklessly. Therefore, it's impossible for His Majesty to abdicate the crown prince's position as the crown prince of the east palace."
"The inheritance of the throne is of great importance. There are too many uncertainties in a child's growth process."
"Besides, no one can tell how far he'll grow in the future."
"Therefore, even if it's the fastest speed and the age at which a person's nature can be seen, he'll need to be at least eleven or twelve years old."
"In other words, His Highness the Crown Prince has at least seven to eight years of leeway."
"In these seven to eight years of buffer time, no matter how displeased His Majesty is with His Highness, he won't act rashly. There are countless opportunities and countless methods that can be used within these seven to eight years. "
"Therefore, there's still plenty of time to play the game. There's no need to act rashly. More haste, less speed!"
Sir Bi's explanation made the crown prince's expression lighten up slowly.
He was a man of great foresight, so he could understand what Sir Bi was trying to convey. The latter was actually reminding him that he had acted too hastily in looking for assassins. Not only was his effort futile, but it had also given those with ulterior motives a chance to mess with him.
However, he did not say it directly, but used a tactful method to point out the problem. It was the method of a wise man.
Just as Sir Bi had said, Yu Qiankun still needed a long period of growth to be a threat to the crown prince. The crown prince still had plenty of time to deal with him. There was no need to be impatient and give others something to use against him. He had been too rash.
"Now that he's here, we can't just do nothing, can we?" asked His Highness.
"Of course we can't do nothing." Sir Bi was confident. "We still have to do it, but our current target needs to be changed. Our primary target can't be Yu Qiankun. "
He said indifferently, "I believe Your Highness Crown Prince should be aware that directly targeting Yu Qiankun is too eye-catching. Furthermore, he is currently heavily guarded. If you rashly attacked him, it would be equivalent to reminding His Majesty the Emperor to increase his protection! Of course, the main reason is that we can hardly get the chance to come into contact with this child. Acting rashly will only result in more losses than gains. "
"Then who do you want to target first, Sir Bi?" asked the crown prince.
"King Xiaoyao's heir, Yun Yang!"
